Expecting liability coverage for source code people publish for free on their own time has very strong implications on free speech, freedom of arts, and freedom of science. I don’t think this is possible in a liberal society. On the other hand, you can already buy software, where the vendor takes some kind of liability: just buy Windows, AIX, or one of the commercial Linux offerings. Same for software libraries: there are commercial offerings that come with (limited) liability from the vendor. It’s even possible to create software to stronger standards. But outside of some very specific industries (aerospace, automotive, nuclear, defense, …) there doesn’t seem to be a market for that. |
